♥ Stone and Water

You're the centre of the storm
And I can't keep an itch unscratched
We have kept each other warm
Looking for the perfect match

Matches strike and start a fire
And it'll rage and it'll roll
Who is governed by desire?
Whose desire is to control?

You are stone and I am water
And you didn't mean to bar my way
And I didn't mean to wear you down
But when this thing is brought to order
You will remain and I will flow

They say we work so well together
We work well at sharpening knives
And people beat their clothes upon us

We lead many separate lives
That night I went round there to see you
I told you many separate truths
I told you golden opportunities
You said everybody chooses

You are stone and I am water
And you didn't mean to bar my way
And I didn't mean to wear you down
But when this thing is brought to order
You will remain and I will flow
